Xigg XOOPS Cube Module Version 1.10 Released

Xigg XOOPS Cube module version 1.10 has been released with major enhancements to the previous version.

What is Xigg?

Xigg allows site administrators to maintain a community-based news article popularity website like digg.com. News stories and websites are submitted by users, and then promoted to the front page through a user-based ranking system. The functionality of Xigg can be further extended by installing various plugins.

Real running Xigg instances (XOOPS Cube module version) can be viewed on the following sites:

Installation

Notes

PHP Gettext functions are not required, however it is strongly recommended that they are available

After installing the module, the "prototype" plugin should be installed from the plugin administration page

Changes from 1.00 (or 1.0.0b1)

Advanced role administration

Roles can now be assigned not only to groups but to each user as well. Each role can also be customized to have various permission settings.

Guest voting

Votes by guest users can be enabled from the module preferences section.

Advanced plugin administration

The plugin administration system will now check for the required PHP version and plugin dependencies. Each plugin can now have its own permissions which can be configured from the role administration page.

Plugins

Following plugins are included in the core package. Plugins can be installed from the plugin administration page of the Xigg module.

prototype

Enables the prototype/scriptaculous javascript libraries

Akismet

Stops comment/trackback spams using the Akismet API

GoogleBlogSearchPing

Sends ping to Google Blog Search

HTML_Autoformat

Enables auto formatting of articles (auto-linking, auto-paragraphing)

Services_Trackback

Stops trackback spams using the PEAR Services_Trackback library

Text_Wiki

Enables text editing using the Text_Wiki syntax

weblogUpdates_ping

Sends pings to predefined ping servers

XOOPSCode

Enables text editing using the XOOPS Code syntax

ExternalLink

Opens external sites in a new browser window. It also adds a small icon next to all the external links

The plugin seems to construct a dom tree of links and
overrides style when page is load; making those links with
css backgrounds loose their design.

Yup, so that's why I fixed it so that it is applied only to contents within Xigg.

Apply only to #xigg content works perfectly ^^

Note: plugin is active but not manageable from admin!

What do you actually mean? Did you check the second page of the installed plugin list?

We can see from Xigg Plugins administration , page 1
that the plugin "external link" is listed on "Installable Plugins"
and the plugin is listed on page 2 as already installed
still a strange behaviour making me ask, how it checks plugins
status ?

Front end is rendering nice now. I was thinking to change the theme but
apply the script to module content only, was a better solution. Great fix ^^
